Talk:List of nuclear weapon explosion sites

Untitled

This is a new page, a list of nuclear test sites. It contains at this time no references; I'll be adding them over the next couple of weeks. SkoreKeep (talk) 02:33, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

I think that the list might include the (range of) years that the sites were used.Lee De Cola (talk) 17:11, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

How about Israel? They have 150 nuclear weapons. I don't believe for a moment they didn't test any. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.134.2.222 (talk) 03:01, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

None known. Some rumors, nothing official or authoritative. Your incredulity is not evidence. If you have a date, time and location, then there are several people I know of, myself included, who'd like to hear from you. Bring references. SkoreKeep (talk) 16:43, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

Hiroshima and Nagasaki

The title should be consistent with the introduction and the table; Hiroshima and Nagasaki were not "test sites" and inclusion on a list with this title relativizes US terrorism. Wikifresc (talk) 03:09, 5 June 2019 (UTC)

I second this. Listing Hiroshima and Nagasaki as "test sites" is highly insensitive and reductionist. The reason why the United States bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki was not to test and these places were never established zones for nuclear testing. Even the title of the page for the bombings itself refers to them as "bombings," not "nuclear tests." Saladry (talk) 05:17, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

OK. I removed the word test and in the lede and added an explanation that the word may not be appropriate in all cases of the list of possibilities in the lede and the table title. I would encourage you that if you have a better wording, please feel free to edit the article. I certainly don't want to be thought of as "highly insensitive and reductionist".

I've moved the page to "List of nuclear weapon explosion sites" in accordance with this change. MtPenguinMonster (talk) 12:00, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

Santa Susana Labory in San Fernando Valley

This testing site and site of the biggest nuclear accident in the United States is missing. Look into it. It's not hard to find and MSNBC did a recent documentary on it. People need to know about this 76.168.4.237 (talk) 09:34, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

Yes, the site is real but it is not a "Nuclear test site", which is a site on which nuclear bombs and bomb techniques are tested. It was the site of an experimental sodium-cooled reactor. It has its own page in Wikipedia (Santa Susana Field Laboratory) and is listed on the page of List of civilian nuclear accidents. It doesn't belong on this page.
